Agricultural Fair

The Agricultural Fair was worth our $2 admission fee on Sunday. We got to taste scrumptious things like fish jerky and frozen soursop juice. I had a conch pate and Dave had a beef pate. We also tried some guavaberry cake. The woman who sold us the cake insisted that we taste it right then and tell her what we thought of it. It was pretty good. She explained that sometimes she takes a shortcut and makes it with a pound cake mix to start. We also saw lots of jams and hot sauces for sale. We tried some mango candy and another flavor which I can't recall, probably papaya. There were tons of plants and trees for sale, but nobody had the kinds that Dave was looking for (guava and papaya was it?). Plenty of exhibits too on USVI agriculture. There was an article on the newspaper's website but it seems like it is already gone - a bit surprising because usually updates aren't made to their website that often. I'd definitely go again next year. But maybe this is just a sign that we live in a small community and just about any event is exciting!
